"So I was, for the first time in my career, on the cover of a fashion magazine, which is such an awesome, nice thing…It felt great!" she said. "I saw the cover, I don't know if you've seen it, but I thought, ‘I look so, like, beautiful,' and I thought, ‘Wow, I've never looked better. I feel like I look like a movie star on it!'"

The comic strip aficionado also added, "I thought [the cover] was nice, I guess, but the implication was, ‘What, Elle, you can't put her big, fat body on the magazine? Why? 'Cause she's just fat and gruesome? Why can't we look at her beautiful fat body?' And I was like, 'Okay, people who are trying to defend me,' I just feel like they're kind of insulting me!"
